Honey Garlic Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks

Honey Garlic Crockpot Chicken Drumsticks - made April 22, 2017

I made up this recipe, mostly because I had packs of
chicken drumsticks and a bag of sweet potatoes (Costco run), I liked pairing
honey, soy sauce and garlic together and I really wanted to use my dinky little
Crock pot for something. Fortunately, even a 2-quart slow cooker will hold 5
chicken drumsticks and that’s what each Costco pack contained.

I learned from my Beef and Sweet Potato Stew experience
though and didn’t add the sweet potatoes until the last couple of hours of
cooking the chicken. There’s not much to say about this recipe. I don’t know
that I would go into spasms about it (c’mon, it’s just chicken) but add some
rice (or not) and this makes for an easy-to-fix, no-frills meal.

Combine chicken broth, soy sauce, honey, garlic and ginger in a small slow cooker. Immerse drumsticks in liquid and cook on high for 1-2 hours. Add sweet potato cubes and continue cooking on high until chicken is done and sweet potatoes are tender, approximately another hour.
